Textbooks aquired.
There are three places to acquire textbooks at my university – the Store The School Owns (Store One, for convenience), the Store The School Doesn't Own But It Sends All The Freshmen To Visit During Orientation (Store Two), and the Store That Always Puts Buckets Of Advertising Cards In Classrooms Near The Beginning And The End Of The Semester (Store Three).
Store One and Store Two both get their class book lists directly from the school, and therefore always have the right editions of the textbooks. This is a good thing, naturally. Store Three does not guarantee editions, nor accept returns, but it is cheap.
Naturally, I went to Store Three. Because it's cheap.
Incidentally, Store Three is right down the street from a bagel shop, and said bagel shop had a deal on two tubs of cream cheese (any flavor! Including lox!) and 13 bagels, $10.99 plus tax. So we have bagels, as well as books. And that is nice indeed.
